Saturday’s game wasn’t pretty, but PSU came back from an early 10-0 deficit to defeat Indiana 31-20 at Beaver Stadium. The win, combined with losses from No.9 USC, No.14 Miami, No.15 Houston, No.16 Utah and No.17 Arizona, helped Penn State make the jump to No.14 in this week’s BCS standings, keeping hope alive for an at-large selection into one of the four BCS bowls, excluding the National Championship. PSU needs to finish in the top 14 in the final BCS standings on December 6th to qualify for a BCS bowl. The Lions play their final game of the season this Saturday at MichiganState, and following that game their fate will be largely decided by teams ahead of them. MSU is a tough road game to end the season on - hopefully JoePa has one more win in him for 2009.

Penn State doesn't seserve a BCS Bowl. Their best win is against Temple. TEMPLE! The only reason that they are in the discussion is because Penn State has a big following and College Football wants to make money.

The only reason they are ranked in top 15 is because of a B.S. Preseason ranking - and a down year overall in College Football.
